Filed: 1997-02-26
Abstract: This invention concerns a sports bag as a golf bag (1) equipped with an organiser insert. In another aspect, the invention concerns an organiser insert for a sports bag such as a golf bag. The invention involves an apertured plate (4), with each aperture (13) being sized and shaped to comfortably receive, for example, a golf club handle (19). Side walls extend below the plate (4) to define a single compartment beneath each aperture (13). A spacer (6) is associated with the side walls to keep them in fixed relationship with each other as they extend downwards. A retainer (7) is associated with each compartment to grip a golf club handle and resist its removal from the bag. Golf club handles (19) may be dropped or pushed into the bag (1) through the apertures (13) in the plate (4). They are gripped by the retainers (7) and are kept relatively still inside their respective compartments. In this way the clubs will be retained in fixed relative locations within the bag (1), and will be unlikely to fall out of the bag (1) during normal handling. The clubs may be easily removed by gentle upwards pressure applied to the club heads.

Inventor: MUNDT JOHANN
IPC: H02P5/00
Filed: 2000-02-29
Abstract: In a method of operating and controlling hysteresis motors energized by a three-phase power supply and individually monitored by an operating monitoring system, whereby the effective power output of the individual motors is determined and the three-phase voltage is changed if the effective power output deviates from a predetermined range, the hysteresis motors are first energized at an intermediate range voltage until they reach nominal speed and are then running at synchronous speed, the supply voltage is then increased to an upper range, where the remanent magnet pole strength is impressed on the armature and then reduced to a lower range for continuous operation of the motors, the power output of the individual motors is monitored and, if it drops below a threshold indicating a switch to asynchronous operation, the operating voltage is again increased to the intermediate range for renewed synchronization.

Abstract: On décrit des procédés de distribution de logiciels électroniques (figure) dans lesquels des logiciels peuvent être emballés par leur éditeur de manière directe et protégée (par compression et stockage dans un seul fichier), mais cependant de manière à permettre l'ajout d'informations par des partenaires du circuit de distribution en aval, par exemple des distributeurs et des commerçants (revendeurs). Des politiques de distribution ou des règles commerciales (ensemble de règles de distribution) régissant le processus de distribution peuvent être établies par l'éditeur de logiciels ou peuvent être laissées à la discrétion des partenaires du circuit. Le logiciel lui-même est cependant protégé contre les manoeuvres frauduleuses ou l'infection intempestive par un virus (par cryptage et stockage dans un seul fichier). Un outil permet d'effectuer le processus d'emballage incrémentiel sans nécessiter la sophistication de la technologie informatique de la part des partenaires du circuit. L'éditeur peut utiliser un outil d'exploitation conventionnel de son choix pour préparer un ensemble de fichiers d'exploitation pour la distribution (par fabrication d'un produit pouvant être installé par un utilisateur terminal). C'est-à-dire que l'outil d'emballage n'influence pas le choix de l'éditeur pour ce qui concerne les outils d'exploitation.

Title: Tandem immuno-assay for cancer
Inventor: PULIDO-CEJUDO GABRIEL
IPC: C12Q1/37
Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: The identification and characterization of risk factors and their molecular implications in the pathophysiology of human diseases such as cancer is essential for designing efficient diagnostic assays and therapeutic compounds. Estrogenic steroids, under normal physiological conditions, have been shown to play a critical function in several tissues. The response of such a variety of tissues to estrogen stimulation can explain in part its active role in the development and progression of different human diseases, particularly breast cancer. Searching for estrogen-responding cellular factors in parental cells of primary human breast carcinomas obtained from tumour biopsies, two cellular markers, an isoenzyme of putative leucine aminopeptidase (LAPase; EC 3.4.11.1) from parental cells of primary humor breast carcinomas obtained from tumour biopsies, and cytosolic NDP-Kinase/Nm23 (EC 2.7.4.6) from HL60 cells were identified. Monoclonal antibodies against each cellular marker have been produced. Determination of the presence of these two markers, either alone or in combination, can be used to detect breast cancer, and in particular, associated metastatis. Thus, this invention refers to the use of both LAP and NDP-Kinase/Nm23 monoclonal antibodies together in a tandem solid-matrix based immuno-assay for first line confimatory blood-based testing for breast cancer.
